Begin Winter Attuned to Nature with Living Art at the 4th annual A Bonsai Solstice:

Take in a big breath of fresh air and enjoy the unique beauty of the bonsai illuminated by serene candlelight.

WHAT: A Bonsai Solstice is back! The Pacific Bonsai Museum welcomes the public to enjoy the collection by candlelight.

To add to the meditative atmosphere, world-renowned Native American Flute artist Gary Stroutsos will join us as a special guest artist this year.

We invite guests to BYOF (Bring-Your-Own-Flashlight) and sip a cup of hot cocoa or coffee compliments of Caffé D’arte. P&J’s Waffle Delights Food Truck will be onsite for those who’d like to treat themselves to a sweet or savory waffle dinner.

This event is kid-friendly. Admission to the event is free (donations to support the museum are always much appreciated). For those who would like to make a ritual of it, commemorative votives will be available with a $5 donation.
